This bill would require states, U.S. territories, and Washington D.C. to use a new computer system called an Enhanced Income Verification Platform. The system would automatically compare what applicants report as their income against sources like wages, gig work, rental income, child support, gifts, and bank account transactions. Applicants could choose to allow access to their bank account data and would have a chance to review the information for accuracy.
State governments would be required to adopt the new system. Anyone who applies for or receives a federal benefit based on their income would be affected by this change.
States that do not adopt the system within one year could lose federal funding for benefit programs that use income to decide who qualifies or how much they receive, such as Medicaid, food assistance, and housing aid.
